Hence maybe why wood is popular with the home builder who is building one aircraft only as the Labour/time is probably pretty much the same between wood/composites and metal.

One of my favourites was the Falco.

Collecting uniform wood must also be difficult as nothing in nature is that uniform? knots, different fibre compressions?
I really dont know what I am talking about
